Flash Player & Non-Administrator Accounts

[Guest]

I have Vista Home Premium. The latest version of Adobe Flash Player is
running well under my "administrator account". However, when I switch to
other users (non-administrator), Flash Player is no longer recognized. Help,
pls.

Hi,
Some possibilities- starting with the easiest...

Internet Options> Advanced
"Allow active content to run in files on My Computer"
Try this unchecked (default) and checked.

A possible solution from the Adobe support forums

Navigate to:
C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9b.exe
Run the .exe and this will run an updater. After running it my Flash
problems were gone. This seems to fix most Flash problems Vista users are
getting.

A complex procedure, but see this Adobe article:

Try uninstalling / reinstalling Flash Player. Use the uninstaller at

Flash player download:

Check to see if Internet Explorer or a third-party program, toolbar or other
browser add-on is
blocking scripts, scripting, ActiveX, active content, etc.

Hope this helps,
